I cannot take it anymore
Stars have nothing written
Each step is less than motivated
Only in dreams am I smitten
Awake I do not see the sun
Nor the bright colors of the world
All is monochrome, neutral
Neither hot nor cold
***** is taken liberally
To relax a stiffened view
Sets me in my dreamland
Where worries are so few
I know I can’t sleep forever
To ignore the challenge of life
But I must do something quickly
To change the cycling strife

We just gave one more freedom to the government
Soon they will have it all
And a handful of people will run our lives
You will be told what to wear
You will be told what to eat
You will be told what job to go to each day
You no longer control the tv
You no longer control the money
You no longer control your hot water
You no longer control where you live
You have no choices, they will be made for you…
Knowledge of what is evil has been shredded
And reformed as the right thing to do…
All those good are now racist, biased, hateful,
Terrorists of human nature… definition of love, good,
Right, acceptable have been skewed by twisted minds
We all fall short – it is how it has always been
We all sin – it has always been this way
We are drowning in our own mistakes of
Who we chose as leaders, decision makers,
Lawmakers- they are destroying us
Let us look in the mirror and point the finger
Of true fault (we let these people take over)
And then get on our knees and pray
For God, Almighty, Creator and Savior
To shake us, make us stand up against
All evil… would you rather face man in
The end or God? (And yes He does exist!!!)

Across the room
Eyes meet
Lips coyly smile
Hearts palpitate

A need for answers
A need to know
Who is that?
They gravitate

Greetings exchanged
Wonderments won’t cease
Grasping hands to meet
Her cheeks radiate

He sees her blush
His name he speaks
She softly reveals hers
Ahh to communicate

Her scent is wild
His own is fierce
They’re closing in
Moves to contemplate

This is the beginning
For there is no written end
Leave it to your imagination
Of what becomes their fate

My inner fears
Are driving my tears
There’s got to be a right way to go
Do I choose left or turn right?
(the future would be good to know…)
If I go with the path of my heart
Ignoring thoughts of my mind
Results could be drastic
Or as minor as being unkind
My head analyzes each step
Pondering possibilities of every move I’d make
Logical reasoning ignoring emotions?
How much more can I take?
Should I close my eyes
Spin round and round?
Should I scream into the wind?
Or wait for something profound?
Each interchange of thought and emotion
Could bring about happiness or wrath
Each day new thoughts new emotion
Each day a new path

if I am a treasure
don't bury me
if I am gold
don't burn me
my heart beats
my eyes cry
my body can feel the wind
if I am the world
Don't set me apart

We look upon each other
Drawing in the attraction
Wondering what’s beyond the skin
Inadequacy is sometimes found
Once we’ve pierced the heart within…

What if what makes us who we are
A total package if you prefer
Gives away our true kind
Decreasing  the images’ worth
Creating a change of mind…

A peek inside the soul
Could be all we need to see
Sealing the fate of charm
A face that’s average to the eye
Has the heart to unravel and disarm…

If you look at all the masterpieces artists have created
Whether paint or pen, marble or clay,
Or perhaps the dust from the ground
We see many imperfections
But overall beauty may astound

Time is fleeting
Mistakes repeating
With days you want to erase
Memories abound
Sight and sound
Every look upon one's face
Details we forget
Recollections of regret
We master the art of pride
A painted smile
Fades after awhile
Tears bursting from inside
Arms embrace
Words soothing grace
Holds us another day
Time is fleeting
Emotions repeating
It’s always been that way

the sun rises on the dew of the night gone by
warming the damp ground: steam flying high
a bold orange ray beams through the trees
quietly waking the world; no rustling of leaves
 
the fog clears as the sun rises above the trees
drying up the ground; a gentle breeze on fallen leaves
midday arrives; the sun at its peak of day
its rays so bright; no clouds in its way
 
clouds move softly to block out the sun
dropping light rain on a day not long ago begun
the sky begins to lighten; the storm has blown away
in the sky a rainbow; sends a promise of a new day
 
the sun sets in the west; bold color radiates the sky
changing hues as the day says goodbye
at dusk, the stars come out to play
lighting the night sky as the sun did the day

i don't wanna dance
my feet can't find the beat
i don't wanna sing
the melody's no longer sweet
fear outweighs the future
my eyes see only bleak
i cannot play the game of life
if i only find defeat
show me there's a different end
as i get down on my knees
i say a prayer, but not in vain
cleanse my soul of this disease
take my heart and make it thine
and fill it with thy love
for only you can save me now
my God, my Father above

it isn't the rain that drowns me
or the waves crashing on the shore
if i find the answer to this puzzle
i'll only want to know more

i'm reaching up, though slowly sinking
into depths of much confusion
if i find the answer to this puzzle
it may only be illusion

breath is suddenly taken from me
emotions stealing the air
if i find the answer to this puzzle
the truth might be unfair

a numbness over takes me
i'm covered with no way out
if i find the answer to this puzzle
would i then be free of doubt?

the freedom of knowing
is not means to an end
only to find the answer to this puzzle
is a reason to begin again

there's a fire burning without flame or char
it roars deep inside without echo or sound
it boils the blood; heats up the senses
but yet no blister or scar be found...

it rages like a blaze across dry grass
smoldering to embers that glow
leaving behind not ashes or soot
but unleashed desires to know

if there are blue skies behind dark grey
clouds, when will they be seen again?
for i am impatient for happiness...
i tire of fears that have no end...
mountains of life seem insurmountable -
doubling with each new plateau...
questions that haunt all my dreams
i search for answers that no one will know...
life seems pointless
each day remains the same
why do we all continue?
same game; different name

there isn't much to say anymore
since you turned your back on me
i can't remember how many times
with you i felt so free...
but our lives are different now
- you've left me all alone
all i have of you to remember...
my heart turning to stone

we argued so many times
though this time was too much
i couldn't make it better -
your mind was out of touch
you didn't want to hear anymore
you couldn't even see
'cause your pride got in the way
of forever loving me

yes... i made the error
of falling in love with you
one who i thought would understand
accepting what was true
but you lost faith with my mistake
so there ends our life together
my future filled with heartache

i'll try hard to forget you
no one could take your place
i've lost faith in myself
fallen too far from your grace
maybe i can disappear...
be gone without a trace...
i don't know... all i feel...
neverending tears upon my face

my secrets are so reclusive
i don't even know what they are
my fears seem unrealistic
like most of my dreams are
my desires are basic needs
giving me a comfort zone
my love I have for you
means I never feel alone
i hate this body i reside in
i feel ugly, old and boring
but your eyes -
the way they hold me -
(could they be more adoring?!)
everything I tell you
you don't always want to hear
'TMI' you say to me
your fingers in your ears...
but above all else you ask of me
and will forever be true
I can love no other (ever)
as I love you...
